Greetings Ladies and Gentlemen. This is my first post so please bear with me.
I found this site quite by accident while doing some other research and started reading. I was struck by the number of cases here. This one in particular really got my attention. So much so that I registered as a Websleuths user.
Let me start by saying how sorry I am for the loss to you and your family, Rosco. I've read the posts and linked pages. It appears to me that Dark Knight, Blaize, and several others have offered very good information. I'd like to add my 2 cents.
It seems to me that LE is honestly working on the case--as evidenced by the FBI involvement--and probably suspects 'A' and accomplices, but doesn't have that one piece of conclusive evidence to tie it all together, hence LE's silence. I don't know what that missing link may be, but I'd like to point out something from the newspaper articles written immediately after the crimes that seem to have been overlooked (even by DK).
In the Kendallville News-Sun article by Megan Hockley that DK posted on 10/10/06 (post #83), A is quoted as saying, "We're going to make their dreams our dreams. Dad wanted a full wrap-around porch, to tear down the barn, new siding. There's electrical work to do. Mom wanted new curtains, new furniture.
But in the same article, the man listed as his best friend, Bill Gage is quoted as saying Terry's barn was bigger than his house and included a large storage area, a tool shed and workroom and his hunting cabin."Every time he got an extra $500, $600, he'd call the Amish men. I want to build on. Frame it up.' "
Statements in this and other articles posted by DK around 10/10/06 indicate that the house was Darleens to fill up as she wanted but that the barn was Terrys. In fact, one article mentions how Eric Musilek, Sherrys husband, cleaned up the barn where Terry Anderson was killed a barn he helped him build a few years back.
Now, it seems to me that if Terry was proud of that relatively new barn, stored all of his valuables in it, spent spare cash to improve upon it whenever he could, then it couldnt have been something Dad wanted as described by A above. There seems to be a preponderance of evidence to the contrary.
I would point these recorded statements out to LE and the DA, just to light a fire under them. Its possible that the investigators are well aware of these statements, but then again, they may have overlooked them as some of our esteemed fellow websleuths have.
